Lisa R. gets yet another "so harmless it's deadly" no-prize for bringing us something else to add to the list of things that will kill you in Australia:
Australia's harsh Simpson Desert conservation park will be closed during the southern hemisphere summer to prevent tourists dying in the outback, authorities said on Tuesday.
Ah, the national park. The wilderness! The wildlife! The dead campers rotting in the sun!
Very odd looking place, from googlemaps. Very odd.
However, I'm not about closing it. Tell the fools that they're allowed in but give them a solid warning as to what they should expect and what they should bring. Then tell them they're on their own.
